Selecting a plastic surgeon and a location in which to undergo plastic surgery can be challenging. Because of Dr. Flint's fourteen years of experience, board certification in plastic surgery, and her practice location in, "The Valley of the Sun," she treats a large number of patients who primarily reside outside of Arizona, and many from Canada and Europe. She and her staff desire to make the long distance relationship an easy one, and have compiled this information specifically for patients who will be traveling to consult with and have surgery by Dr. Flint.
Since Scottsdale enjoys over 300 days of sunshine a year and very temperate climate for eight months of the year, it is no surprise that many patients choose Scottsdale as their destination for their procedures. There are also less than 400 board certified, female plastic surgeons in the country, and not every state has their own. Scottsdale is a resort destination, and accommodations are available ranging from opulent to simply affordable and comfortable within five miles of Dr. Flint's office and the surgicenter where she performs surgery. Following a few simple instructions makes flying safe twenty four hours before surgery, and depending on the surgery, as early as seventy two hours after the procedure.
Dr. Flint encourages patients to contact her from out of state to arrange procedures well in advance of their desired treatment date. All new patient forms can be obtained from the website and submitted in advance so that Dr. Flint can review them and determine if a patient is a candidate for their desired procedures. She prefers to receive photos of the patient either by e-mail or mail so that she can suggest what procedure or procedures will accomplish the patient's goals. Generally the trip for the consultation and the surgery can be simultaneous if desired. The length of post-operative stay in the area depends on the procedures performed. Most facial and breast surgery patients are allowed to travel within seven days of surgery. Body contouring patients are generally asked to stay for ten days. Follow-up appointments are arranged on a flexible schedule.
Dr. Flint's primary office in old town Scottsdale is right across the street from Greenbaum Surgicenter where she operates. The surgicenter is owned and run by a large hospital that is one block away. She uses all board certified anesthesiologists to provide anesthesia for her patients. The facility has a recovery care center on its second floor with all private rooms and highly qualified and experienced nursing staff. Dr. Flint has used this facility since her practice opened.
The staff in Dr. Flint's office truly enjoys assisting out of town patients with any and all details associated with becoming a patient in Dr. Flint's practice and having and recovering from surgery. They work as liaisons so that the patient only has to concern themselves with relaxing during the recovery phase. Dr. Flint and her staff are available before and after surgery at any time to answer questions, speak by phone, or even review post-operative photos via e-mail. The process is truly seamless, and that is why Dr. Flint frequently finds herself operating on people from the same neighborhoods in far away locations. Once one patient from an area goes through the process, they encourage their friends to become one of Dr. Flint's patients as well.
Before you book you're flight to Arizona you should schedule a consultation with Dr. Flint or call our offices so one of the staff members can help guide you down the right path to becoming a new patient. Dr. Flint is a board cetified female plastic surgeon in Scottdale and personally performs all cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures at Greenbaum Surgicenter.
